[It really doesn't take much effort to translate troll text into regular style people text and really, Sollux's text quirks were pretty minimal in comparison to some people Liz used to chat with.]
Well, they're not, like, real snowflakes, obviously... they're paper ones. It's all in how you, like, fold the paper. Once it's folded, any cuts you make in it are, like, symmetrical or something.
When you, like, unfold it, it looks like an oversized snowflake.
[Liz is nodding, Sollux. She just might be a tiny bit appauled that the world of glitter and paper cutouts was not known on Skaia. SADNESS!]
Yeah! You, like, tape them up to the walls, or string them up around a room. It's, like, totally pretty looking and adds to the general wintery ambiance... or something like that.
[Liz is thrilled to be able to respond with video to at least one person, her smile bright and beaming as she switches over to it.]
Chloe! Oh my god, that would, like, be so totally great! We could decorate the barrack common room, and like, the kitchen and our rooms! We can make it, like, a total winter wonderland!!! If you've got ideas, like, let me know, cause I'm totally open to other ideas and stuff, too!
Will do! I'm sure I can think up a few things. I've done some set design in the past, so we could probably make some decorations, too. It'll be great! I'll stop by in a bit to run some ideas by you, okay?
[Maybe she could get Alex to help, if he wasn't busy and was willing.]

[Another person she can respond to with video, huzzah! Even if she vanishes while talking, Ezra's always been pretty cool about it, so Liz doesn't hesitate to switch over to video feed when talking to him.
She's beams brightly as she appears.]
Well, you can't, like, bring real snow in to decorate with. So, we make these fake snowflakes instead. To bring, like, a touch of winter inside as well as out.
I hope you will not waste good parchment on such things.
[Snowflakes. Really.]
If you must decorate, then you may do so, but you will need to make your own decorations.
There are instructions on how to weave garlands and wreathes in the library, and fresh evergreans, holly, ivy and twin in the apothecary at the top of Marigold's Tower.
We have not the candles to spare, so you will need to make those too, should you require lights. Wax and wicks can be found near the hives.
I suggest you find someone to help you.
[She makes no mention of a tree. A tree is a foreign enough concept to her, and it means a trip into the forest. For something so trivial as this, she will not make an offer on another staff-member's behalf.]
[Isabel, don't be a kill joy. :\ Liz falls silent as one of the staff members appears with answers to her questions. Although she is not utterly thrilled about the advisement to not use parchment for snowflakes, what Isabell doesn't know won't hurt her... or Liz. :D
She makes not of everything she's told, however, because the process sounds amazingly fun, if involved.]
So, like, if I need help with the hives, who should I, like, ask? Just, like, one of my friends, or, like, another of you staff people?
[She was pretty sure she could handle the other stuff, but wax and bees... ugh. AND, she hadn't met any of the staff members in person, so that could be fun.]

Yeah... a few months ago, I'm afraid. But it's not, like, too big a deal! I got to hang around as a poltergeist, and that's, like, pretty cool.
[No, really. She sounds totally cool with this.]

Let me know what you'd like to do, Liz. Or if you need any ideas.

Awww... not a big fan of the winter, Ezra?

As it is, another guest is as likely to have more experience in bee keeping than any of the staff here.
[Nieta or Dos could do it. But they have more pressing uses for their time.]

Okay, I'll, like, ask around... I don't want to bother the bees or anything.
[She was a ghost and all, but beestings sucked and she didn't want to find out how well she'd really feel the stings. Ouch.]
Umm, like, thanks for replying... I appreciate the suggestions.
[Bees... ffffffff. Who would help her deal with bees?]
